From neighbourhoods to towns and whole cities, urban areas around the world go through cycles of growth and decline, making the need for urban regeneration inevitable. There is growing demand for professionals with the expertise to lead regeneration and urban transformation projects. This MSc addresses the challenges of rejuvenating or restructuring declining areas in response to changes to the functioning of contemporary urban environments. We place social value at the heart of urban regeneration, critically exploring how to deliver urban transformations that benefit existing communities while maximising those places’ strengths and opportunities.
Throughout your degree you will gain skills and knowledge relevant to regeneration practice across the public, private and third sectors. These include: urban design skills, critical thinking skills, communication and presentation skills, regeneration strategy, stakeholder engagement, project delivery, spatial and policy analysis, collaborative working and interdisciplinary problem-solving.
